i have a question

If you perchase a handgun from a swapmeet ( they have them everywhere here). Can you carry without registering it in your name? What if it turns out to be stolen or used in. Crime? Do you get into trouble for buying it? I know you can do quick serial number checks on web sights but they don't have %100 that its clear. I'm asking because almost all of my relatives have bought a handgun from a swapmeet stand. I just want to be safe if I ever find a good deal somewhere

No one can answer your question as your location is secret. USA Federal law says it is OK. In most of the United States it is OK. We can't possibly know if it is legal in your state or country as where you live is a secret. If you are living in Antarctica I believe it is legal.

Generally, unless its a very cut and dried thing, I don't like to give "is it legal" advice. I could be wrong and end up causing you a world of hurt. Your questions are best asked of the state/county/local authorities where you live. And ask the question at the time, or immediately before the transaction. Gun laws are in a constant state of flux all over this country and what is legal in one place today, my not be tomorrow. Or the other way around.

In Texas, face-to-face sales between Texas residents are legal without any paperwork. But, most that I have talked to, recommend you always insist on a bill of sale, whether you are buying or selling. Some even say they will only deal with those that have a concealed handgun license. You certainly need to check your laws for yourself, but these sound like good ideas even if not required.
